I read recently an article from Life Way Research that said we now live in a day and age in the United States where one-third of all evangelical Christians do not believe Jesus is God.

WHY SHOULD WE COURAGEOUSLY REPENT TO GOD? Is God asking you to repent in any way in your life? Our response to that last question reveals to us the condition of our hearts with God.

WHY READ GOD’S WORD? As an eighteen-year-old student at Liberty University in August of 1989, I made a commitment to Jesus to read my Bible ten chapters a day until I had read it a hundred times. What I learned is, there are eleven hundred and eighty-nine chapters in the Bible. Nine hundred and twenty-nine in the Old Testament and two hundred and sixty chapters in the New Testament. That means you will spend three-fourths of your time... Read more
PASTORS WHO PREY AND ELDER BOARDS WHO IGNORE How is it possible for a pastor to prey on their parishioners for sexual favors and practice sexual misconduct and this go unnoticed for years, even decades?

WHY DID YOU PUBLISH THE 23 BOOK? The story that frames the background of the 23 book began officially in 2001. God awoke me and asked me to do something that if I would have known at the time what it was going to cost me, I may have joined Jonah in running the opposite direction. But like God does with all of us, He spoon fed me incrementally the calling that He placed in my life at 1:23am... Read more
